A joint attention deficit is a defining characteristic of autism in young children. Joint attention, a concept originally from developmental psychology, refers to behavior in which the consequences include shared interaction between two people and an interesting object or event. Dube et al. (2004) describes a behavioral analysis of the child’s gaze shifts in joint attention (e.g., looking from an interesting event to a parent). At the completion of this CE program, the learner will be able to describe the gaze shift in joint attention from a behavior-analytic perspective.
This course is authored by William V. Dube, Ph.D.
About this course:
This course uses a fluency model. This model involves answering a series of questions, first during acquisition modules (one hour per module), and then again during fluency modules (which have a shorter time criterion). The fluency model provides many opportunities for practice. Each question is accompanied by a hint, to be used unless you are absolutely certain you know the answer. When hints are used properly, fluency-based courses can be errorless or near-errorless. Keep in mind that fluency-based courses employ a practice (active student responding) model that involves completing learning exercises that are similar to tests, but include hints and feedback. Concepts are learned when users consistently make correct discriminations on questions designed to teach concepts and promote generalization. This course is recommended for BCBAs and BCaBAs.

--This module did a good job of summarizing the development of joint attention within a behavioral model. Very helpful information for any behavior analyst who works with children on the Autism spectrum. Thanks.
--I like the fact that you must get a 100% to pass the program and that you can repeat it. I also like the fact that is gives you hints as well as specific examples. The article was easy to read and the computer program was simple to install. I enjoyed the lesson.
--I think these modules are great. I learned a lot from them. Trials to Criterion method always helps me retain info.
--Kudos to the entire process…
--I really enjoyed having the article to read prior to completing the computer program. It helped me with understanding the material and allowed for greater retention.
--Nice way to cover the material presented in the article, and the fluency component certainly helped with retention.
--Enjoyed this format very much!
--I enjoy the programs and find them helpful. I find it difficult to get away for many CEU events.
--I’m bummed I’m running out of classes! Great job once again.
--I did this one after I did the Conceptual Instruction training and it was great seeing those techniques applied. I think this training was difficult but it does a better job of making learning stick.
--Love the practices that clarified the learned concepts.
